Carlisle
I finished with my last patient and walked out to the administration connected to the waiting room to submit some paperwork. I handed it over to the lady and greeted the female nurses in the corner who were staring at me. When I turned around, Esme was sitting against the wall. I smiled and walked over.
"Hello, my darling." I greeted. She stood up and planted a long kiss on my lips. I knew the other nurses were watching. When she pulled away, she looked over my shoulder and glared at them.
I turned her head back to look at me. "Behave."
"They look like they want to kill me right now…" she smirked.
I grabbed her hand and led her over towards two male doctors standing close to the women.
"Ah Carlisle, this must be your fiancé." One said.
"It is. This is Esme." I introduced them to her and she smiled politely and shook their hands.
My eyes drifted over to the women who looked like they hated Esme.
"I bet she's a gold digger, with that hair and those clothes…" One whispered.
"In fact, she hates spending my money, so if you don't mind, please keep your prejudices to yourself." I snapped.
Esme smiled wide and stared at me.
One of the women cleared her throat awkwardly before all 3 of them walked away.
The male nurses laughed. "Don't worry about them, they're as bitchy as they come, plus they fancy Carlisle. All the women here do."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." I said before Esme could ask questions.
They said goodbye and I walked to my office with Esme by my side, our fingers intertwined.
"I know what you're thinking, that isn't me. But come on, whom better to put them in their place than the guy they love?" I winked at her.
She laughed. "You're right. Although I can't help but notice that they are very attractive…"
"For a single man maybe. I'm fully committed to you." I planted a kiss on her lips.
"So tell me. Do they know we have only known each other for 2 weeks and already engaged?"
"Why does that matter?"
"Well I'm thinking that's why they called me a gold digger."
"No, I think they called you a gold digger because you're beautiful, and gold diggers usually are, too."
"That didn't answer my question."
"No, they don't. I told them I have known you for 2 years. We know the same amount of information about each other as anyone who has known one another for 2 million years."
"You were put on the spot, weren't you?" she smiled.
"Yeah…" I admitted. I picked up my things and we walked out.
Esme shot a deadly glare at the women who had returned to their spot.
I drove even though she came to pick me up.
"It's my car…" she complained.
"I'm a better driver…" I smiled.
She didn't deny it.
"I have a proposition for you." I changed the subject.
"And that is?"
I pulled over for the moment and turned to face her fully.
"Move in with me."
"Carlisle—"
"Edward, Emmett and Alice will come too of course. We have 3 spare bedrooms in our house in case things don't turn out for all of them as we had hoped. Bella, Rosalie and Jasper don't mind, I already asked them."
"We don't want to impose…"
"You're definitely not imposing." I assured.
Her mouth curled into a small smile. "I'll talk to them about it tonight."
I smiled at her before driving again.
"So Alice wants the wedding to be next month. She thinks that because it's in the middle of fall then it will be the most beautiful time to do it. Knowing Alice, I can't decline myself, but if you don't want it then, then I can decline for you."
"Is next month what you want?" I asked.
"I don't mind when it is."
"Then if she can get a wedding together by then, next month works for me."
A bigger smile spread across her face. "Good, because I do mind. Next month was when I wanted it before Alice even suggested it."
"October it is." Our fingers had intertwined a while ago, and we pulled up to her home. I opened her door and we walked inside. I was planning to go home and shower first, but I wanted to get my children out so that Esme could have time with just her children when she asked them if they wanted to move into our house.
When we walked into the living room, they were all sitting in silence. No one moved at all.
"Guys?" Esme stepped forward. They all turned at the same time and looked at us.
"Well that was rather creepy…" I whispered.
"Why are all so quiet?" She looked at Emmett and Jasper who were the main cause of noise in the house.
"Conflict…" Edward said quietly.
I looked at Rosalie who had the same face on that she has when she is ready to argue.
"Rosalie?" I was asking for an explanation and she knew it.
"Why do you always think it's me?" She snapped.
"Because you have that face. And I know you…"
She stared at me before sighing. "Jasper is being a dick."
"I am not!" He snapped.
"Bullshit!" Rosalie yelled.
"Rose!" I scolded. "All 3 of you, home now."
"Why?" she asked with attitude.
"Because it's what I said. Now go."
She stood up and glared at Jasper before storming out. Bella kissed Edward before following. Jasper didn't move. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"I'm not going near her; she'll rip my head off!"
"Jasper."
"You have to be in between us the whole time." He said, kissing Alice on the cheek and standing up.
"You're welcome…" I whispered with a wink to Esme before following Jasper out.
"Okay, what happened?" I sat down on one of the several couches in the living room. Bella sat beside me, and Rosalie and Jasper sat at opposite ends, as far from each other as possible.
Neither of them said anything.
"Bella?"
"Emmett made a joke and Rosalie took offense but Jasper laughed. Rosalie told him to shut up and he said it was true and she slapped him and then it was full blown argument." She said.
"You slapped him?"
Rosalie looked at me but didn't say anything.
"It's not like it hurt…she's weak…" Jasper said quietly.
"Oh, shut the fu—"
"Rosalie!" I cut her off. "I honestly thought you were more mature than this. Maybe I shouldn't let you go to London with Emmett, since you can't even control yourself here."
"No, that isn't fair!" she straightened.
"How is that not fair? You slapped Jasper and you have been cursing an awful lot lately. Not to mention the endless arguments with others." I was going to let her go, but I wanted her to think I wasn't going to so she might learn something.
"You are so biased! If Jasper had hit me, you wouldn't make a big deal out of it at all! I am an adult I can go to London if I want to, and maybe I might just stay there!" She exploded. "I'm so fucking sick of this family!"
"Have you been doing the calming exercises that the doctor told you to do?" I asked with a calm voice.
"No! They don't do shit!" she stood up and ran out of the house, over to Esme's, not doubt.
"Rosalie!" I yelled out but she didn't reply and she didn't come back.
"What a bitch…"
"Jasper, please don't." I said sternly. "You can go back if you want." I said before starting to walk out.
"Carlisle? Could Edward come over here?" Bella asked.
"And Alice?" Jasper added.
"Yeah." I answered before walking up to my office.
